One of the hallmarks of professional wrestling is the submission move. There are countless iconic submissions, like Lex Luger’s Torture Rack to Daniel Bryan’s YES! Lock. Submissions can be attempted in WWE 2K23, but you’ll need to know how to use them first. With that said, let’s take a look at the controls for a submission in WWE 2K23, plus the special mini-game that is associated with submissions.
What is the control to perform a submission in WWE 2K23
Attempting a submission in WWE 2K23 is not all that hard. Press and hold RT/R2 when near an opposing wrestler. Then, follow that up with either B (for Xbox) or Circle (for PlayStation).
To recap:
- RT/R2 (HOLD) + B/Circle
Once a submission is locked in, it’s time to finish the match. Now in order to do that, the submission mini-game will begin. Here, the goal is the mash whatever button appears on the top of health bar that appears on the screen. This is an example of that screen:
Remember that the required button input will change after some time. Make sure to watch the screen carefully for that change.
